This session will describe how joint NetApp and Data Dynamics' customers have used StorageX to move their data to Clustered Data ONTAP from NetApp 7-mode systems -- as well as competitive platforms with better results compared to alternative approaches. Mehta will explain how customers can save money, reduce risk, and accelerate their transition to Clustered Data ONTAP with StorageX, while freeing their storage staff from the drudgery of manual migration and file management. The session will also feature customer case studies and transition outcomes that will give storage professionals considering a transition to Clustered Data ONTAP the information they need to choose the best path to get there.

In Mehta's presentation, he will discuss how customers looking to deploy the latest release of Clustered ONTAP can:
Utilize a single software platform for their transition with StorageX.
Mitigate the need for an extensive amount of services personnel by leveraging StorageX to accelerate adoption.
Operationalize around StorageX and teach the customer's storage team to drive value and in turn save costs.
Achieve scalability with StorageX to cover multiple data centers with a single instance.

"The software-defined data migration and management market is being defined by Data Dynamics as they educate the marketplace in driving automation in what is otherwise a manual and labor intensive process," said Mehta. "StorageX offers our customers the best and easiest path to get to the latest and greatest NetApp systems, and gives our partners a great source of value-added to differentiate their strategic presence with their accounts.
